Table of contents: title: this is a strong collection of poems, on one theme -- the Vietam War. But war poetry is nothing new and often sheds new light upon the human condition... The extended 'notes' at end are very necessary, when many of the verses use military slang and so on. And there is history too; to require dates and some useful facts. The front cover makes a big impact, when we see the 'Huey' helicopter on the move (into battle), before the morning sun rises -- the verses inside are also raw and real, troubling and honest!
